The Dallas Cowboys took a hit on the defensive line when defensive tackle Jordan Phillips was placed on IR with a wrist injury. A few hours later, former first-round pick Mazi Smith was escorted off the field with an injury of his own.

Hendershot, 25, was traded from the Cowboys to the Chiefs in late August. He hasn’t been a factor there as one of Travis Kelce’s backups. Meanwhile. Dallas is presently down Jake Ferguson, the Pro Bowler who is nursing a short-term knee injury.

Among the Wednesday absences were wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and cornerback Trevon Diggs (foot). Defensive tackle Mazi Smith left practice early when his back seized up after taking the field for warmups, according to The Dallas Morning News’ David Moore.
